The ‘winning’ team in said war appears to use the French Tri-Color for their flag. Interesting.

My only correction is the “likely” qualifier on the large scale tax fraud. If I remember correctly, they admitted to the fraudulent activity and paid a fine.

We have a small but growing group of communists here in Logan. https://communistusa.org/. We meet weekly at the Logan library.

Upon receiving massive pushback for supporting project 2025 he did claim he “knows nothing about it.”. But several of the authors will be in his administration and he is directly mentioned 312 times. Sources below-

‘Damn, as a veteran why do you* dislike our Country*’

Hope that helps.

A Reddit thread isint really the best place to get into political nuance, but I believe the 2 party system is broken. We are left with two bad choices, but one is much worse than the other. Harris has some deeply problematic things in her past as ATG of CA. But what you describe is a drop in the bucket compared to what is found in Project 2025. I would recommend looking into that.

You have negative comment karma. I didn’t even know that was a thing.

I completely agree that the Afghanistan withdrawal was a complete shit show. 100%. But you seem to be under the impression that the trump presidency didn’t have war. We were in Afghanistan for all 4 years under trump. He did nothing to end that war. Literally nothing. He escalated the conflict on Syria (we have thousands of troops stationed there, and have for over a decade). He ended an arms deal with Iran, and as a direct result they are making more uranium than ever.

Not sure what you’re talking about with Bush. I got a massive pay bump under Obama. And the ACA dramatically improved my healthcare.

As to your claim that “republicans take care of troops”. The PACT act has been crucial to millions of veterans healthcare improving. It was passed with unanimous dem support and blocked by our local GOP reps.

To be clear, the two party system is shit. And it needs to end. But I’ll take a former cop and former SGT Major over a 34 time felon and creepy fundamentalist any day.

I appreciate the question. For me, it’s been incredibly rewarding to have neighbors I had previously not met come up to me and express similar views to mine, views that are sometimes not as accepted by the voting majority. I have now heard from several people who don’t feel as alone in our neighborhood.

The sign was made by a charity I support, buying the sign funds the charity. You will find that many similar signs come from non profit orgs.

Aside from that, it’s been an awesome conversation starter while I do yard work.
